Firefox 11 releases with 3D Debugging and Add-on sync

After some delay Mozilla has finally released Firefox 11 of its open source browser, with improved developer tools over the previous versions. The latest version takes us into some new territory - 3D.  The new "tilt" feature lets you view a 3D representation of pages in layers of related content. A new live Style Editor, meanwhile, lets them make changes to CSS style sheets and see the results instantly.. The depth of nesting of a page element is mapped to its depth in a 3D view. So. for example. a button nested in a set of divs would stand out higher than a button in the body of the page. Once you have the 3D page on the screen you can rotate it and zoom to see anything that takes your interest.You can also select any area and see the tag list that creates it just as you can in the standard 2D representation. Firefox 11 now adds the ability to sync add-ons, extensions, and browser customizations. Previously, Firefox users could sync bookmarks, passwords, preferences, hi...

Firefox 10 released with Extended Support Release for Businesses, full screen apps, disappearing forward button, WebGL antialiasing, smoother scrolling and more For Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and Android. End of Windows 2000 and XP RTM announced.

Following Google Chrome's six week release cycle, Mozilla rolled out the tenth iteration of its popular open source browser Firefox 10 on Tuesday. Though the software does bring an array of tweaks and enhancements for both users and developers, it's perhaps most notable for the fact that it marks the debut of the business-oriented Extended Support Release (ESR)  program Mozilla has been working on with the Enterprise User Working Group it re-established last summer. As the biggest UI tweaks will arrive in Firefox 12, the majority of changes are under the hood: except that the "forward" button now only appears once you've pressed "back."

Microsoft Office 2010 not yet worth the upgrade

Is even Microsoft tired of the Microsoft Office upgrade treadmill? Its new Microsoft Office 2010 invites that heretical thought. The Redmond, Wash., company doesn't give owners of older versions a discount -- but does offer two limited but free editions of Office, the online-only Office Web Apps r and theOffice Starter Edition bundle of Word and Excelincluded on some new computers. Microsoft doesn't seem too anxious to have users move to this year's model. And at its list prices for its two home versions-- $149.99 for the Home and Student bundle of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, $279.99 for the Home and Business edition that adds Outlook -- few should. (If you bought the old Office 2007 after March 5, you can get 2010 for free. If your new PC has a locked copy of Office 2010 pre-loaded, activating it with a"Product Key Card" bought at Microsoft's site saves about $30 on Home and Student and $80 on Home and Business.) Among Office 2010's cons...

It has been reported the latest security update released by Apple contains the previous version (released in February) of the Flash player. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs had earlier said in an interview to the Wall journal that the Flash player is slow, buggy and obsolete and so had not been incorporated in the iPhones. Retaliating to this Adobe that is the manufacturer of the Flash player said that the Flash player that Apple is giving in the security updates for Mac OS X is not the latest version of the product. Besides the A...
